Stuttgart was founded by Adam Bürkle, a native of Plattenhardt in Germany. He moved to the US in 1852 and founded a settlement in Gum Pond. In 1880 he opened a post office and had thus to name the village. In memory of his native home he called it Stuttgart after Stuttgart in Germany. In 1882 the railroad was opened. Stuttgart became a city in 1884. In 1902 rice farming was first introduced in Stuttgart.

Riceland Foods, located in Stuttgart, Arkansas, U.S.A., is an agricultural marketing cooperative and the world's largest miller and marketer of rice.
